you made your point.

to me a Rolex Day Date or such, having been owned by a renowned artist or a surgeon would mean much more than one owned by a diver.
Rolex as a company was not about dive watches only nor the "tool watches".
These are just the ones that are often pushed on various forums as the desirable ones. As many are herded to buy the same models the prices get inflated. Just my 2 cents.
